Table 2.

SDD and SDD (%) for measurements performed on T1-weighted, contrast-enhanced (CE T1-WI) images and T2-weighted images.

CC CC AP AP ML ML VOL VOL
SDD (mm) SDD (%) SDD (mm) SDD (%) SDD (mm) SDD (%) SDD (cm3) SDD (%)
T1 A–D (n = 68) 2.98 40.3 2.23 28.3 2.12 20.9 0.11 19.7
T2 A–D (n = 68) 2.76 40.1 2.69 34.3 2.69 30.52 0.14 30.1
T1 A (n = 29) 2.41 52.8 1.49 28.0 1.96 27.1 0.05 28.9
T1 B (n = 27) 3.23 34.5 2.53 26.5 2.33 17.8 0.06 10.4
T1 C (n = 6) 3.60 32.7 3.05 28.7 2.49 14.9 0.07 8.70
T1 D (n = 6) 2.96 18.8 2.90 23.7 1.08 5.00 0.26 5.70

The SDD and SDD(%) for CE T1-WI are subdivided according to vestibular schwannoma (VS) stage: A intracanalicular VS, B VS extending into the cerebellopontine angle, C VS compressing brain stem, D VS deviating the fourth ventricle

SDD smallest detectable difference, SDD (%) smallest detectable difference relative to baseline measurements, CC craniocaudal dimension, AP anteroposterior dimension, ML mediolateral dimension, VOL volume
